There you go @Administrator, throwing you a bone so you don't have to ask the same question with no response week after week

Hauling trash to a burn pile on the family farm. This trailer has a gross weight rating of 12,500 and weighs about 2,800 empty but was probably around 5,500 lbs. I couldn't get the farm's Dodge dually diesel to start so the Red Wagon was put to work.

I parked it at an indoor cruise port and let it charge all week at 20 out of 40 amps and only 2.5 - three hours a day

I finally used the scheduled charging feature and I like the ability to have control at my finger tips.

Lowe's has 5 bags of mulch for $10. So of course I had to get 50 bags.

I have had my truck for 3 days, and this is why I wanted it. Mulch. (And drywall, but that's another story.)

The guys loading the mulch said they loved it when they saw people using their trucks for truck things instead of keeping them prestine. I plan to do both. Prestine on the inside, but the truck bed? Mulch, rocks, and maybe waking up on the wrong side once or twice. LoL

Thank the lord I finally found a shop to design a sun shade for the roof SUV / Truck that fits like a glove. I went through 5 shops, 10 horrible samples and 21 months.

The fit and finish is perfect on this version and I hope the performance is just as good as the truck. The truck version helped temps drop like 8 - 10 degrees during Texas Triple Digit Days

I will test it out with windows open / windows closed to see how well it stays in place and doesn’t flop around.

the truck version is Amazing and I’m hoping this SUV revised version is finally what I plan to order in bulk.

Today I hauled 3,100 lbs of pavers. 1,200 lbs in truck bed, 1,900 lbs in the trailer.

Truck stuff.

Where can I buy it?

Right now it's not available from anyone or anywhere.

I am still dialing in the quality by using it daily in my own vehicle in many different scenarios.

I love it. I plan to use it and this is the best I have found. Even at 75 Miles per hour it stays in place and works great to block the annoying sun hitting my face or my shades.

I want to make it even better for me and y'all.

Right now it works great when 2 front windows are down. You can crack the back windows just a little to allow air to flow through so the windshield shade doesn't flop around.

you take take all windows down 50% and the shade stays in place.

When you take all the windows down 100% the shade stays in place but clips start to get stressed and the fabric flops around.....super annoying.

I am working on a fix for when folks want to put all the windows down and don't want clips to move or fabric to flop around.

When I finally get my version that is good enough for me and my family, I will pick up a small batch of SUV shades only first just for this forum.

I know the truck shade is perfect but I plan to make the same upgrades to the truck shade to stop it from flopping or clips from moving when all windows are down.

The first batch will only be sold to Rivian Forum members directly on the forum so I can collect more feedback and make sure we are all happy.

If everyone is happy, then I might pick up a full set of SUV and Truck and list it on Amazon where the fulfillment happens by them.

I honestly don't have time to ship each out one on my own. I will do that for the first batch so I can get real feedback from owners for the final version that passes my quality checks and I am happy to buy for my own use.

Next project will be front windshield shade and then I have another project that will be done later but is extremely useful, will save you tons $$$ especially if you have pets and should not cost much.

I want to get the ocean coast color right before I work on that product.

The sunshade will be grey or black. I am working to see if we can get a custom batch in Ocean Coast if the factory can find good matching fabric.

Hope that helps.

I "let go" of the last of my "range anxiety" while running errands today. My R1T hit 15% remaining battery as I rounded out the last of my morning obligations, and I got the message that I should charge, soon. So I did! I hit the local Tesla charging station - 14% (on arrival) to 80% in 42 minutes.

I just purchased one from Hansshow that is supposed to be white. I have not received it yet. I am hoping the lighter color keeps the inside from feeling so dark when the shade is in. I do have the dynamic glass roof but I can still see through it when it is on.

I am working on getting a grey version with my upgrades / enhancements mentioned earlier as a single sample I want to try and once I get it, I can compare how much sunlight the grey version versus the black version allows into the cabin.

Edit: When I get a chance I have another sunshade I picked up from a different vendor to compare to in grey and I can let you know later which one allows more light.

I feel like when I had the grey one the cabin was brighter but I personally prefer a darker cabin so it's up to the individual if they prefer color match or cabin brightness preference.
